By now the CD player, the Optimus 3400 was resting on countless tiers with these footers between each tier. I don't really remember how many tiers I was up to. Maybe twelve or 13. The player was up higher than my height now. I could no longer see the little window with the green light on top of the top loading player which displayed the tracks. Soon I would need a step stool to put a CD in the player. Everything was going fine and then. while playing music with a lot of bass in it, all of a sudden like a house of cards, everything came tumbling down. I guess you needed to be reminded of the old expression regarding, "too much of a good thing". Regardless of the effect on the sound, I would have expected it be rather obvious that the stack of 12 or 13 tiers was inherently unstable. "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

I shook my head and told him "its a way bigger figure than that!" While I don't question the value of footers and other anti-vibration devices in producing a positive effect on sound quality, IMO the only way they would produce improvements of "a way bigger figure than [half]" is if you had an extremely crappy physical setup to begin with. daverich4, 4est and sandyk 3 "Relax, it's only hi-fi.
